I'm envisioning a team of tireless hamsters running on wheels powering your computer right now. It was thoughtful of them to face the apology sign right into your window, however. It's almost like they mean it.Sending you some opium to get through this weary day.

You could also run a pipe from the gas mains through your letter box and hang an official-looking "Warning: Gas" notice on it and nobody would think you were doing anything illegal! (Seriously, hope you get reconnected soon.)

Is that really ’your’ door, Scarlet? That’s quite risqué of you to show us your very own personal door. You know what they say; doors are the eyeways to the soul. Of course it could be a stage prop, right? I also like the little danger note. I’d swipe it if I were you - for possible future use. You could make a neat little badge out of it and wear it when you go out on Saturday nights.

Madame D: My supply is back! Actually EDF men are rather nice... especially the ones they send out late at night... well I presume he was an EDF man?

Chris: In my overgrown bush...?

Mr Z.Moot Coppens: Mes žaisti odgadnąć kalbą?

Gadj: I am reconnected... I was on a flipping noisey generator. But they are still digging up the lane...Hmmm... colonic irrigation by post... my brain is slowly beginning to work again!

Son: Hello! How's you?I wish it was a prop! I didn't choose the door.... and I wish it was all some kind of inventive art installation, but alas no... it is all horribly true.Good idea about the badge...

In answer to your comment at my place yesterday, I couldn't possibly comment. I always keep the details of what young ladies have been up to confidential, as you know very well. After all, I didn't publish the photos I took during your visit to Norfolk, did I?
